No update video??? WTF? Can't be true.

No way. Those videos mainly motivated me to spent 876 hours in this game during Alpha/Beta.

An update without an video is no update!

Maybe just because the game is already for 2 years ea and most people already told their opinion. It's like mentioning how great oxygen is as part of the air you breathe. :-)

I really love this game and how it develops over time. Really great work and well support for Linux.

Oxygen not included - i usually only have time on Sunday evenings for gaming as my little girl and little boy keeping me busy.

The last three content updates imho made an already good game to a great game.

I want to reach the surface and try out those solar panels.

However, before I have to figure out how to use steam geysers correctly without overheating the base. Secondly I need to learn how to use steam to clean polluted water.

Can't wait to get hands on it, but only on Linux - no tux no bux

Quoting: KimyrielleA few weeks ago, someone representing Paradox apparently complained about Linux sales being too low for making Linux sustainable. Liam had it covered here.
It's actually really hard to believe that our usual market share of 1-2% of 5,000,000 sold copies (we're still talking 50-100k Linux copies) wouldn't be enough to cover Linux-specific costs, but that's what they said.

D'accord.

75,000 Copies x 30€ = 2,225,000€

So from this number I would really raise that question again to them. Can't believe that supporting Linux costs more than that.

But I can follow Paradoxs argumantation if you have nieche games like HOI or EU IV with ~1,000,000 sold copies where the calculation might looks different. However even these games have a very similar core - so many costs to port the engine have to be calculated once. And in total with all these 4x strategy cames the calculation can look way better.

In my opinion the big DLCs from Paradox are more like classical expansion packs and really worth their money. The smal DLCs are usually more cosmetic and can be skipped without missing much. Finally, even if i hate most DLC approaches, i really find it okay how Paradox usually does it.

It would be interesting to know the perdentages of linux within 5000000 copies and if Linux itself has a positiv ROI.

This game was the main argument for me no longer dualbooting into Windows. Since them for me Linux games have the critical mass reached.

The critical mass for me was Civilization, Dwarf Fortress, Prison Architect, Tropico and the Valve Games besides Cities Skylines.

Hm,

Since a couple of updates I'm always playing each new version for a few hours. I really enjoy to see the improvements in game mechanics and try out the new features. Maia is one of the game where I like to just watch the progress in early access.

However the current realese is the most unstable since I'm with Maia. I have any few minutes crashes and are returned to my desktop. Currently I do not see any autosaves. Are they disbaled or may i did this by a setting? Have to find out.

I really liked DOW 1. Allready DOW2 wasn't mine anymore. I liked the base building and the unit upgrade feature.

However my hopes are all-in with Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War wich seems to be come to Linux Day 1. And yes I know it is a 4x Game and not RTS with quick action like DOW and not really comparable. But I hope to get some W40k immersion.
